484340c8-302a-4c8f-8aba-873527fb57e4 | The year under review represents, as it were, the last year under the old order of things. Henceforth in all your deliberations you will take into your consideration the opening up of the Becontree Estate and look upon Barking as a township with a potential population of 100,000. In January, 1929, I asked for an extens... |
3c344a2d-d5dd-4be4-9de4-3bba22c87358 | I feel that any palliative measures are open to grave objection. Bad environment should be dealt with radically. Money spent on palliative measures merely 5 tends to hide the real trouble, and after all, nothing can take the place of a home for young children, and those homes should be sufficiently good to make palliat... |

Elsewhere I have been happy to pay tribute to the very real team spirit which I have found in Barking, in which all the various departments of your municipal activities play a part. It is this team spirit... |

b14478bf-2dbf-4374-9a2b-b8de288032d8 | I am still prepared to recognise the difficulties which confront you, but do believe that year should not follow year without this matter being dealt with in a radical way. Provision of Meals.—The same arrangements for the provision of meals obtain for 1929 as obtained in previous years, and, having regard to the fact ... |
6e51ed9f-8b02-45c4-99ad-b4ab678b96bb | The problem of catering for children who stay behind at their ordinary elementary schools for their mid-day meal is not a very real one, as the following table shows. It must, however, be remembered that where the children who remain behind are few in number, there is oftentimes the more need for supervision, and altho... |

4af60dcc-0594-4ecd-bf3f-39c6b2885789 | On no account should more than twelve children be seen in any hour at routine school medical inspection unless there is some definite explanation or excuse. The average number of inspections per hour should be in the neighbourhood of nine or ten. 10 In Barking we visit most schools three times a year for the purposes o... |
c5c8a888-78f4-40eb-aba6-90969f4fbc38 | May I once more take upon myself what has begun to be a perennial task of explaining that routine inspections are essentially a census of the health of the school population, and that people who object to having their children examined at school because they know them to be healthy or because they are already receiving... |

cd37e862-0795-4568-827c-b23f388fcce1 | The number of children who require treatment for malnutrition remains practically constant with last year and is negligible.
